Bernardino Orsetti
Disegno figurativo toscano neoclassico raffigurante un uomo barbuto

early 19th

About the Item

Il disegno, matita su carta, raffigura un uomo barbuto, girato verso l'osservatore, che indossa una camicia con il colletto aperto ed è rappresentato con un'espressione di intenso stupore. è firmato "Bernardinus Orsetti delineavit" Dal nome e dallo stile, si può supporre che il disegnatore in questione fosse il Conte Bernardino Orsetti di Lucca, generale del Ducato di Lucca sotto il regno di Napoleone e marito di una delle protette di Maria Luisa di Spagna, Duchessa di Lucca e prima regina d'Etruria, il cui ritratto è conservato a Villa Mansi a Lucca. Sebbene morto molto giovane, era conosciuto per essere un amante delle arti e fu il primo direttore dell'allora fondato Real Liceo, non stupisce quindi, che oltre allo studio degli artisti, si dilettasse anche della pratica del disegno.

  • Japanese Art Ukiyo-e Figurative Painting, Tomimoto Toyohina, Edo period
    Located in Segovia, ES
    Bijing-Ga series XXVII (Nº 27) Title: Tomomoto Toyohina Tomimoto Toyohina was a much sought-after geisha (entertainer) who performed narrative ballads accompanied by the shamisen. She was one of several non-prostitute beauties, including teahouse waitresses, whom Utamaro depicted repeatedly in the early to mid 1790s. She appears here with a brush in hand, dressed and combed with simple elegance. This composition is from a six-print series comprising half-length portraits of famous beauties (Famous beauties of Edo). Utamaro elevated Tomimoto Toyohina to the status of one of the three most renowned beauties of her age (together with Okita and Ohisa). She was from a prominent family of musicians that provided entertainment in the Yoshiwara. Toyohina’s appeal undoubtedly was as much due to her appearance as to her skills in singing, and Utamaro’s celebration of her would have further elevated the status of an already well-known lineage. This image is part of the bijin-ga series (“Pretty women”) drawn by Mario BGil, based in the Kitigawa Utamaro woodblock print...

    Located in Segovia, ES
    Bijin-ga series XXI (Nº 21) Title: The courtese Hinakoto of the Hyôgorô House of Edo The courtesan Hinakoto is depicted by smoking tobacco. She takes the pipe delicately in her left hand and, in her right hand, she seems to be holding a “uchiwa” (rigid hand fan) that comes out from the bottom of the drawing, decorated with written calligraphy. Some strands of hair that fall on her temple and her scant clothing show that the painter has surprised her in a relaxed moment in which she does not lose her elegance and slenderness. This image is part of the bijin-ga series (“Pretty women”) drawn by Mario BGil, based in the Kitigawa Utamaro woodblock print...
